I`m real new at this so bare with me. When I`m looking at the database for a state how can I tell if its trunked or not and does it make a difference when I input the frecs or not?

I does make a difference when entering a trunked system. It would help more if you posted this in your state forum, stated what state and system you're looking at and what scanner you have.

I guess I didn`t state my ? right . I want to know how to read the database . Things in green have a meaning. Not sure how to tell trunked from conventional fres.

If it is a trunked system then it will tell you that its trunked.

I don't know enough about Lake co. to say what MPSCS sites are there or what type of scanner you have to say if you can monitor it.

Those "things" in green are the updates for the last 24 hours The other ones should appear yellow and are for seven days at least.
Conventional are displayed with all the counties for your home state. There is a link for
trunk systems from your state's page and new updates will also appear in green.

I`m real new at this so bare with me .

. . . bare with you , why I hardly know you
